Do "No Gun Signs" carry legal weight before being asked to leave a business?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Dan W:
Last session the law was changed to one that allows for a first offense. A conviction would still mean a class III misdemeanor on your record, but they can not revoke your permit for that first offense unless you are in property owned by the state or any political subdivision ( see the bold section in part #4 )


--- Quote ---69-2443. Violations; penalties; revocation of permit.

(1) A permitholder who violates subsection (1) or (2) of section 69-2440 or section 69-2441 or 69-2442 is guilty of a Class III misdemeanor for the first violation and a Class I misdemeanor for any second or subsequent violation.

(2) A permitholder who violates subsection (3) of section 69-2440 is guilty of a Class I misdemeanor.

(3) A permitholder convicted of a violation of section 69-2440 or 69-2442 may also have his or her permit revoked.

(4) A permitholder convicted of a violation of section 69-2441 that occurred on property owned by the state or any political subdivision of the state may also have his or her permit revoked. A permitholder convicted of a violation of section 69-2441 that did not occur on property owned by the state or any political subdivision of the state shall not have his or her permit revoked for a first offense but may have his or her permit revoked for any second or subsequent offense.

That's good to know.
I am sure there are some honest situations where this might occur, or at places where signs aren't necessarily "conspicuous".

Every permit holder would know not to bring a firearm into federal/state property.

My  own personal  response to "No gun"  signs is to take my business elsewhere.     If they don't want me to  be able to protect myself while in their establishment they leave me no other choice, since those that post such signs usually do not provide for the defense of their customers.

The problem lies with those hidden signs that no one sees until to is too late, or not posted on every entrance, or that have fallen off the wall, or that are so faded as to be illegible, and the basic refusal of our overlords to see fit to require that the signage be visually effective, consistent and on every entrance.

The current signage requirements are more akin to camouflaged stop signs at the intersection of two major highways.
